This authorization may open the door wider to accept their use as a raw material for poultry and pig feed in 2019.HomeOptimizing pellet cooling for quality, energy savingsFrench research facility Tecaliman addresses need for better understanding of pellet drying-cooling control and management to ensure quality, energy savings.HomeAnalysis: Developments in the French poultry feed industryRealignment of the major poultry producers seeks to regain the losses of French feed producers in recent years.Nutrition & FeedFeed technology center offers strategies for managing energy useFrench feed technology center Tecaliman created a guide to help large European feed mills comply with EU energy audits to reduce energy usage.Antibiotic-Free MeatEuropean pork industry answers to societal demandsEuropean countries choose different paths to meet the rising social demands faced by animal productions. The French Pork and Pig Institute (IFIP) has analyzed several actions conducted in Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.HomeNew feed unit system improves ruminant diet efficiencyThe French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) has created a new generation of feed unit systems for ruminants, Systali, to improve ruminant feeding and help farmers to predict animal response to feeding changes.HomeAmino acids decrease the price of pig feedUsing the ideal protein concept, EU formulators using free amino acids to reduce the crude protein contents of pig feed gain substantial savings.Nutrition & FeedResearchers provide an in-depth analysis of feed mill dust explosionsA feed plant is full of powders -- ingredients, premixes, dust, even finished feed when non pelleted. To better know the risks and to be able to aid manufacturers to manage them, French technical center Tecaliman performed studies with specialists of dust explosion at the CNRS lab in Nancy, France.HomeBenefits of rapeseed meal drive increased usage in feed productionContaining more than 30 percent protein, rapeseed meal (or canola meal) is increasingly being used in feed for ruminants, pigs and poultry. Its high protein content makes it an attractive substitute for soybean meal. The secret to its recent success in the French feed industry is that the nutritional value of the byproduct is linked to changes in the crop and its processing.Nutrition & FeedAdditive decreases the energy costs of feed productionAs energy costs continue to rise, researchers at Tecaliman, the Nantes, France-based feed technical center, have been experimenting with an acidifying additive that has potential to decrease feed mill energy bills. This method allows feed plants to lower its heat treatment temperature while improving its enterobacteria-fighting efficiency.Page 1 of 3Next Page
